I'm okay in a crowd. Blend in, disappear. But, I'm not a band wagon jumper. I never was, even as a little girl. I was the weirdo who thought the New Kids on the Block were terrible, and that hair-spraying your bangs to the ceiling made you look like an idiot...
But I don't choose something or avoid it based on popularity. I choose things based on their own merits and how it fits into my own psyche and sense of well-being. I think avoiding things solely because they are popular means that you might miss out on something worthwhile. The masses are not always wrong or maybe sometimes they just get lucky. And I am smart enough to know when something is good or when something is stupid s**t, and I trust my own judgement.
